During the Victorian Era, London became a thriving metropolis; its population grew by millions, the economy was booming, and the streets were hustling and bustling with excitement. Because Victorian London became a place of growing wealth and development, many popular Victorian novelists, such as Charles Dickens, reflected on the advancing city in their novels to show readers and citizens the immense amount of change present. Victorian London was an exciting and dynamic metropolis with many…

At your local Tractor Supply, Rural King, and farm supply stores, “Chick Days” are in full swing with Easter right around the corner. This means the inevitable sounds of chicks peeping, ducklings quacking, and children and adults alike squealing from the uncontrollable cuteness. However, this is also the time of year that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) begins to see a spike in Salmonella cases attributed to, what I affectionately call, “Chicken Kissing.” In 2017, the…

Our livestock has changed tremendously over the course of the years, according to many, it has been as cruelly confined or slaughtered in such massive quantities as it is today. Large amounts of animals such as cows, pigs, chicken, ducks are being raised under cruel and unsanitary conditions in factories, where they are crammed together, fed antibiotics to promote faster and unnatural growth without the exposure of fresh air and natural light. Animal cruelty and factory farms have been a hot…

that it is immoral to eat animals. One of the largest issues large factory farms face is the amount of waste (excrement) that accrues before the animals are slaughtered and transported all over the world—namely swine. This overwhelming amount of feces must go somewhere and is commonly put into ponds strictly for the excrement— “waste lagoons”. To the average person this plan seems efficient enough and environmentally sustainable. However, suppose that a factory farm that uses a waste lagoon…

bacterial infection. This organism produces toxins, A an enterotoxin causing diarrhea, and B a cytotoxin, that causes the bowel wall to become inflamed, ulcerated and necrotic. Clostridium Difficile is found mainly in the soil, however, spores reside in feces and patients are infected by hand to mouth or mucous membrane contact. The bacterium is hard to eradicate as bleach is the only thing that kills it. Hand sanitizers do not completely kill the bacterium and hand washing seems to be…

Dr. Fitzsimmons raised many different questions during his talk on integrated aquaculture-agriculture. The most prominent question was if we can use integrated aquaculture-agriculture to supply both higher crop yields and an alternative protein source? Not only does using an integrated system increase crop yields significantly, but it also farms an alternative protein source for the American public. As we look towards the future, using an integrated system will help provide the crops and protein…

myself away from the guy i thought was helping me, i went to my bestfriend and i depended on her since she was the only one who i had left. She moved me in into her house with her family. Yeah things got a little bit better but i was still feeling like feces because i wasn't really doing much for myself or having a better future. The constant use of drugs and the drinking still continue as it just gotten worse. When days passed, even months passed, I still felt like i wasn't complete yet. This…

In 1981, Alex Pacheco went undercover as a scientist for the Institute for Behavioral Research. During his work there, he discovered 17 silver spring monkeys captured in small metal cages, all of them suffering from living in their own stench and feces. Many of the silver spring monkeys had lost the movement of some limbs due their spinal nerves being severed. Alex Pacheco and several others founded PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and have been educating the public about it…

Over many years, Ethiopia, one of Africa’s first independent countries, has slowly began to take its place in modern civilization. Before this can be accomplished, Ethiopia must have a well structured government, main religions, a common language, a stable climate, and resources to keep its citizens healthy. The history of Ethiopia shows many famines, and droughts, an unsettling start for Africa’s first independent country. As well as being independent, Ethiopia is also the second most…
